Actions of 2021

Last year, members of the network’s Participatory Fund distributed €2,342 amongst ourselves. How did it work?

– network members thought of ways on how to bring our communities together and create change

– everyone met up (online) and shared the money to make it happen (offline)

During the year, some of us encountered urgent challenges that demanded funding. To meet the need, we established Emergency Fund, open to everyone. Two initiatives ended up using the total of €550 to help the refugees at the border and save the trees from being cut down in Vilnius.
